Top Des Plaines Hotel Reviews

Sports Illustrated Resorts Chicago

8/10 Good
"The hotel didn’t meet my expectations for the view, but it definitely had one of the best locations. The location was absolutely unbeatable, with easy walking access to Millennium Park, the Chicago Riverwalk, the Chicago Theatre, Art institute of Chicago and many other downtown attractions. It made exploring the city on foot incredibly convenient and enjoyable. The room was comfortable, and the overall atmosphere had a distinctive character. I especially appreciated being able to reach so many of Chicago’s highlights without having to rely on transportation. My only disappointment was the view, which fell short of what I had hoped for. However, the hotel’s prime location made up for much of that disappointment. Overall, it was a convenient and enjoyable place to stay for a few days in Chicago. I would recommend it to travelers who prioritize location and easy access to the city’s main attractions over a spectacular room view."
